gets
the money, then the marina owner raises everybody's fees to cover that cost

So what you are saying is that everybody should feel obligated to get out of
their slip for a few weeks so the poor marina owner can get some extra rent for
the slips he already rented.

At a wedding? You'd be the odd duck out if you didn't....

The average wedding in the US consists of a DJ spinning a record selection
chosen by the bridal couple which most always includes the "Hokie Pokie"
"Chicken Dance" "Macarena" "YMCA" and all kinds of polkas and stuff that all
ages can get up and be silly about....Live music is very expensive and
wedding receptions that have dull entertainment had better have a lot of
booze to compensate....That's not to say that there aren't sophisticated
weddings where children are not allowed and where everyone sits around
sipping theoir champagne politely, but given the choice, most people opt for
fun rahter than sophisticated....Weddings are for the most part family
parties. Most around here gear their parties to the family having fun.

Weddings are big ripoffs with the providers of the goods and services taking
advantage of the fact that it's the brides big day and also the fact it's
become the accepted practice. Go to the same "hall" and price a meeting. Call
the florist and photographer and get a price for the same services to be
provided telling them it's not a wedding. I hope my 2 girls ask for a
downpayment on a house instead of a big wedding. I don't care what my son does
if he ever gets married. Tee hee.

It all depends on how you think costs should be allocated. If the person
licensing the slip (I think it's usually a license rather than a lease)
gets
the money, then the marina owner raises everybody's fees to cover that
cost
plus the added overhead of processing the payments. So the folks who don't
vacate their slips for a period of time end up paying for those who do.

Don't know that either solution is "right."

Huh????? I pay "X" dollars a month. I'm gonna be out of 'My' slip for 4
days. I would like a friend to use it for 2 days. I'm on personally
metered electric. Where do there "costs" to the landlord come in??
